I have to say, reading the instructions on the walls was straining for my eyes. Maybe there is a better solution. In general, it hurt my eyes. Sorry.
I know what you were going for. I just wonder whether there is a different way to achieve that.
About the actual game: I am not 100% sure I fully understood what I had to do. But I ventured quite a bit until at one point I opened a cabinet with one of those eye thingies in it and then my candle went out and I lost.
Would be cool, if you could upload a playthrough video. I'd like to know how it ends. But I am too much of a scaredy-cat to try again :D
What I am trying to say is, you nailed the atmostphere.
